I hope they removed the plantation part of Louis' back story, I looked up the actor and he's afro-carribean

Oh yes! According to the trailer, they’ve pushed the timeline for Louis’s first encounters with Lestat forward to 1910. It looks like this Louis might operate a set of brothels…still not great, but at least the show appears to have excised one of the most noxious aspects of his original backstory from the novels.
